Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a life – threatening emergency, and a significant cause of maternal morbidity and mortality in Ulan – Bator. The aim of this research was to determine and evaluate the incidence, risk factors and treatment of ectopic pregnancies at The First Maternity Hospital in Ulan – Bator.This was a retrospective, descriptive study of EP’s managed in The First Maternity Hospital during the study period 2013, 2014.The medical records of the patients managed for ectopic pregnancy as well as the total birth record and gynecological admission records during the period under review were retrieved, and data were collected with the aid of data-entry forms designed for this purpose. There were 46.147 gynecological admissions and 28.744 deliveries, with 870 cases of ectopic pregnancies. A total 863 cases were suitable for analysis. The relevant collected data were analyzed with SPSS Version 20.0 for windows.Ectopic pregnancies constituted in 3.9% of all gynecological admissions.Majority of patients were in 25-29years age group (64.1%). The average age of patients was 30 +/- 6 years. In 83.8% of patients had previous abortions, inflammatory disease was the most frequent risk factors.521(60.3%) patients were treated surgically while the 342(39.6%) remain patients received conservative treatment.The incidence of ectopic pregnancy increased by 0.8%, which is comparable between 2013(2.5%), 2014(3.3%). In our study the number percentage of organ preserving treatment, such as tubostomy and conservative – treatment by methotrexate increased significantly.

To detect factors influencing infant’s weight growth during the last few years and to do comparing analysis between mother’s and infant’s weight. 3600 birth histories were chosen and used out of all childbirths happened in 2010-2014 in Ulaanbaatar’s First Maternity hospital using random sampling method. Questionnaires consisting of 21 questions were performed within primiparas, mothers giving birth not for the first time and mothers giving birth by cesarean section. Processing of all the workings were done by using Microsoft Word 8 and Microsoft Excel 2007.According to the results of the research there is a tendency to weight growth of the infants. Comparing weights of the first child of the woman (women giving birth repeatedly and women giving birth by cesarean section) with the second one there is an increasing number of infants with heavier weight. And also as per research done within primiparas there is an increasing number of children born weighting more than 4010 grams during last 5 years. To compare heights of the women giving birth, there is a dominating number of women whose heights are between 155-160,9. However, there is a tendency of birth rate to increase in women whose heights are 161cm. According to the research 63% of all women giving birth were 21-30 years old, average age of women is 28,1 years old. We also detected that there is a dominating number of women giving birth for the 2nd time, but also we concluded that there is an increase in a frequency of women giving birth for the 3rd and 4th times as well. Birth frequency\5 years average\: according to the research we have done we are concluding that 46% of all women are giving birth for the 2nd time, 48%- for the 3rd time, 5% of all women are giving birth for the 4th time and 1% of them are having their 5th child. Significants of cesarean section: 338 are repeated cesarean section, 228 are chronic hypoxia, 131are preeclampsia, beech presentation are171 and other. Childbearing time comparing there is an increase in childbearing of 40-41 weeks.. Comparison between first child’s weight and second child’s weight. As per comparison done between a women’s previous child’s weight and a present child’s weights there is a decrease in a number births of children weights of whose are between 3000-3500 g of 8%, and also an increase in number of births of the children weighting 3510-4000 g by 9,2%, of the children weighting 4010-4500 g by 3% and of the children weighting more than 4510 g by 1,4% was seen. Compare between weights of the first child and second child of the women giving birth by cesarean section done between first and second children’s weights we detected that there is an increase in a number of children weighting 3000-3500 g by 10,4%, weighting 3510-4000 g by 10,2%, weighting 4010-4500 by 12,8% and weighting more than 4510 by 2,59%. Women’s first child’s weight comparison are showing there is a dominating number of children born weighting 3000-4000 grams, however, we also see that there is a slightly increase in number of children born weighting more than 4010 grams. As per research we have done between average heights of the women giving birth in a last 5 years we are concluding following: height of 13% of all women who were involved in a research was 149-154 cm, 39%’s height was 155-160,9 cm, 27%- 161- 166,9 cm and 19% of them were taller than 167cm. According to the research we see dominating number of over weighted women. Despite of sampling method not showing good enough picture of weight index increase we can conclude that number of 2r and 3r levels of overweight mothers are not only staying at the same level but also has some tendency to grow. It was observed that the fact of weight gaining, bad eating habits, not doing sports during pregnancy and increasing of women height acceleration and post-term pregnancy are influencing infant’s weight gain which leads to infant’s morbidity and pathology and to complications during pregnancy and childbirth.When women give birth repeatedly with every birth they give there is an increase in a child’s weight. And also between primiparas there is an increased number of children born weighting more than 4010 grams.Between women involved in a research there is a dominating number of women who are 155-160,9 cm tall, however, it is 46% of them whose heights are more than 161 cm. It shows that average height of Mongolian women is increasing.According to weight index not only women with overweight are dominating, but also number of women with 2 and 3r levels of overweight never goes down and slightly increases. From this we may conclude that overweight problems of women are influencing weight of the baby and also contributes to childbirth and pregnancy complications.

Introduction:According to studies range by the World Health Organization in 2010, 278 million people are deaf or hearing impairment, out of which 24% use an hearing aid and one out of every 10 people has been treated with surgical method and 9 people’s hearing loss has been restored using acoustic treatment method.Purpose:Our purpose is to define noisy vowels of Mongolian word, which will be used for configuration of hearing aid, thereby improve hearing ability.The objectives1. Analyze spectrogram for noisy sound of Mongolian word and define frequency and level of noisy words.2. Define average difference of listening level of the noisy sounds of Mongolian language using “Listening field of Mongolian word”Materials and method:We did the spectrogram for noisy sounds of the Mongolian word using voices of 62 people including male and female children as well as adults. Also, we analyzed frequency energy of all vowels noted in the 60-65 dB computer, via the “PRAAT” software, which defines analysis of speech in phonetics and studied listening level of the strong vowels using listening sphere of word.Result:During our studies, we selected the vowels [a], [e], [u], [o] [a], [ʊ], [ɔ], [i] and defined spectrogram and energy concentration (formant) of each vowel to define the vowels with the highest energy, and further found out that distance difference of the spectrogram of each vowel and frequency between vowels as 300-780 Hz. On the other hand, difference between spectrogram of each strong sound such as [sh], [s], [v], [z], [dj], [kh] has been defines as 340-2800 dB.When we observed the words with strong sound in the listening field of Mongolian words, which were 3- 5 dB lower than the clearer words.Conclusion:1. According to spectrogram, noisy sound [sh], [s], [z], [dj] has frequency of 3300Hz-3500Hz, which is noisier and resulted in poor acoustic listening ability. Further, we found out that Distant difference of vowels of Mongolian language [a], [e], [o] and consonants [m], [n] is far, accordingly, acoustic listening ability has been good, on the other hand, distant difference of vowels of Mongolian word [ʊ], [ɔ], [u] is near or close, accordingly, acoustic listening ability has been not well.2. Level of distinquishment of the noisy sounds of Mongolian word has been lower by 3.6+ 0.8Db to 5.2+1.2Db at levels of clear sound to feedback.

BackgroundHuman-induced climate change will affect the lives of most populations in the next decade and beyond. The impact of meteorological conditions on human health has been reported globally. There is a need to conduct surveys for correlation between climate change and human health.GoalTo study the impact of air temperature on human health in selected aimags and city districts.Materials and MethodsIn order to study how climate change and air quality parameters affect human health we selected Zavhan, Selenge, Dornod, and Umnugobi aimags which represent different climate zones and 2 districts of Ulaanbaatar city during 2009-2011. All data for respiratory system disease J00-J99, circulatory system disease I00-I99, were collected from soum, district’s hospital, and aimag and soum’s Department of health.ResultsDuring the study period, a total number of 8649 incidences of respiratory disease are registered. From them 74.2 percent are influenza and pneumonia (J09-J18), 17.6 percent are other acute lower respiratory infections (J20- J22), and 8.2 percent are asthma (J45-J45.9). For cardiovascular disease 15288 incidences are registered. From them 65.6 percent are hypertensive disease (I10-I15), 23.6 percent are ischemic heart disease, and 10.8 percent are cerebrovascular diseases (I60-I69). The lower the air temperature, higher the incidence of influenza and pneumonia, acute lower respiratory infections, hypertensive, and ischemic heart disease.ConclusionsCold weather is correlated with a higher incidence of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

In order to determine sleep disorders, especially insomnia due to exam stress in medical
students, moreover are there any bad effects on performance of mental abilities
and emotional competency, we carried out this research. We used Prospective cohort
study design, involving III and IV grade 60 students, once these grades are most overloaded
courses. The study performed through 2 stages: 1) Just after Final examination
of a block, 2) During regular days, after sleeping well. The aim can be divided into
three main categories, including evaluation of sleep disorders, estimation of brain performances
and emotional competency.
An average sleeping time was 3.67±1.45 hours on final exam day, whereas a main
sleeping time during regular day was 7.88±1.19 hours. As totally 70% of students were
estimated as having insomnia and according to insomnia severity index, 58.3% of them
had subthreshold insomnia, 16.7% of them had moderate insomnia. Furthermore, regarding
to Epworth sleepiness scale, 36.7% of all participants were evaluated as having
mild daytime sleepiness, 13.3% had moderate, and 10% had severe sleepiness, which
was more common in male students. The estimation of emotional competency consists
of self-awareness, managing emotions, motivating oneself, empathy, and social
skill, which were strongly associated with duration of sleep time, as well as, emotion
was more stable in 4th grade students. As comparison between mental performances
of sufficient and insufficient sleep time, main difference of speed 3428±1249, memory
2984±1063, attention 2472±31, flexibility 4525±1184, and problem solving 945±193 scores.

Background: Natural protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis is based on cell-mediated immunity, which most importantly involves CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell subsets. Therefore, the evaluation of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell profi les are important to evaluate cell-mediated immunity. Immuno-regulating therapy is important in increase of T cell subsets. Objective: To determine some T-cell subsets in active pulmonary tuberculosis patients following immunoregulating treatment in intensive phase of antituberculosis treatment, so to evaluate the treatment effect. Method: This study was conducted in TB clinic of National Center for Communicable Diseases (NCCD) between Aug 2008 and Mar 2009. CD4+ and CD8+-T cells were evaluated in 50 active pulmonary tuberculosis (infi ltrative form) cases before antituberculosis treatment (25 cases with Salimon-Study group, 25 cases without SalimonControl group) Patients with chronic disease, pregnant and alcohol users are excluded. The T cell subsets count was performed by FACSCount fl ow cytometer at the Immunology Laboratory of the NCCD,Mongolia.The monoclonal antibodies to CD3, CD4 and CD8 (Becton Dickinson) were used for the analysis. Result: CD4 count was 605,1242,7 cells/microL, CD8 count-470,92235,7 cells/microL, CD3 count-1130,7425,6 cells/microL, CD4/CD8 ratio was-1,480,67. CD4, CD8, CD3 cells were signifi cantly lower (P=0.05) in active pulmonary TB patients than in healthy Mongolian. And these subsets were signifi cantly lower in older patients (>50 age).There was no statistical signifi cance in sex and other age groups (p>0, 05). There were statistical signifi cances such as CD4 count, CD4/CD8 ratio (CD4-733,95314,38 cells/micro, CD4/CD8 ratio-1.870,7 in treatment group, CD4-570,54213.07 cells/micro, CD4/CD8 ratio-1.260.45 in control group) between TB and control group at the end of intensive phase of antituberculosis treatment (=0,05, =0,001). However, there were not any signifi cance CD8 count and CD3 count between two groups (CD8-423,68174,28 cells/microL, CD3-1212,27453,98 cells/microL in treatment group, CD8-500,67203,74cells/microL, CD3 -1139,33 386,47 cells/ microL in control group) (=0,05). Conclusion: 1. T cell subsets were signifi cantly lower in active,new,smear positive, pulmonary TB patients than in healthy Mongolians (p=0.05). 2. The statistical signifi cance is observed in 50 years and older TB patients (p=0.05). 3. CD4, CD4/CD8 were signifi cantly higher in patients treated with immuno-regulating treatment than in patients of control group (=0,05, =0,001).

Among world population, 23.4% have different kinds of hearing disorders and 56% are middle ear disorders, 30% are inner ear disorder, 10% are congenital deaf and 4% are congenital mixed outer and middle ear disorder (WHO info, 2006).In 1995, by the German research, 2% of newborn babies were deaf therefore, among children from 1-18, 16% had middle ear disorder and 0.8% had inner ear disorder. In most cases (54%) cause of hear loss and deaf as sound transmitting apparatus. Later in 2010, sound transmitting apparatus related disorder was decreased by 22.4% J.Helms1995 , K.Schwager 2010 . Doctors proved that 62% of sound transmitting apparatus related disorders are middle ear diseases, 16,2% out of the diseases have the defect of malleus, 44,1 % have the defect of incus and discontinuity of incus and stapedius, and 39,7% is totally absent of ossicular chain 120 tympanoplasty III type surgeries were operated in 2011-2013 in Mongolia. Clinical and operative features of the tympanoplasty III type surgeries were prospectively recorded. Aim: To recover sound transmitting related hear loss with titan prosthesis implant. 120 tympanoplasty III type surgeries were operated in 2011-2013 in Mongolia. Clinical and operative features of the tympanoplasty III type surgeries were prospectively recorded. Out of the surgeries, 51 cases (42.5%) were cholesteatoma, 53 cases (44.2%) were granuloma middle ear and 16 cases (13.3%) were adhesive otitis media. The air and bone gap of all patients were above 15-35 dB. HEINZKURZ firm’s TTP-Variac system’s titan prosthesis was used. Titan prosthesis PORP was carried out in 86 cases (71.6%). For 40 (45.5%) out of the 86 cases, size of titan prosthesis PORP 2.25 mm was chosen. Hearing level increased for 72% out of patients by 10-25 dB after the operation. However, for 46 (54.5%) out of the 86 cases, size of titan prosthesis PORP 2.5 mm was chosen. Hearing level increased for 82% out of patients by 10-30 dB after the operation. Titan prosthesis TORP size 4-4.25 mm waschosen for 34 (28.4%) out of 120 cases. Hearing level increased by 10-30 dB for 80% out of patients involved after the operation Out of the surgeries, 51 cases (42.5%) were cholesteatoma, 53 cases (44.2%) were granuloma middleear and 16 cases (13.3%) were adhesive otitis media.Titan prosthesis PORP was carried out in 86 cases (71.6%).

BackgroundIn 1988, the Forty-first World Health Assembly adopted a resolution for the Global Polio Eradication.Since the initiative was launched, number of polio cases has fallen by over 99%. Today, only threecountries in the world, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria - remain polio-endemic. The Polio Eradicationand Endgame Strategic Plan of 2013-2018 calls for the gradual eradication of wild virus strain and thevaccine virus strain at the same time. In order to prevent the border transmission of wild type poliovirus,virus leakage from laboratories, it is required to conduct inventory of laboratories handling poliovirus andpotential infectious materials every 2 year.GoalTo identify laboratories handling poliovirus and potential infectious materialsMethodsSurvey of laboratories handling poliovirus and potential infectious materials was conducted amongstate, private, clinical, biomedical and environmental testing in total of 127 laboratories operating in21 provinces and 9 districts of Ulaanbaatar city by questionnaire. Survey questionnaire consists of 6sections (general, sample storage, laboratory biosafety, staff knowledge, information source, trainingand etc.). Study results were processed using SPSS-19 statistical programme.Results34.7% of 96 biomedical laboratories were analyzed stool samples. These laboratories were analyzedrotavirus (17.0%), intestinal bacteria (67.0%), Helicobacter (14.3%), parasite and other indicators (1.7%)in stool samples. 43.8% of laboratories were stored stool samples for one day and 3.1% up to oneyear. From 31 environmental testing laboratories 73.3% were bacterialdetection test on environmentalsamples. 60% of wastewater samples were collected from rivers, 16% on entrance to wastewatertreatment plant and after biological treatment combined, and 24% from other sources. Soil sampleswere collected near waste disposal and other sources (46.4%), and from unknown sources (53.6%).24.1% of all laboratories were stored environmental samples for 3 days, 3.4% for 45 days. Accordingto results, surveyed laboratories did not store samples for more than 1 year. Also, none of surveyedlaboratories (100%) were not stored poliovirus and potential infectious materials.Conclusion· The investigated laboratories were not stored poliovirus and potential infectious materials.· The biosafety and biosecurity status of laboratories should be improved in near future throughenhancing knowledge of laboratory workers and organizing training related to biosafetyandbiosecurity.

IntroductionClimate change has already been started in Mongolia. The frequency of natural disaster such as drought, zud disaster, snow storm, hot and cold extreme weather, and earthquake has increased every year. As per daily information of meteorological stations, annual air temperature has been increased since 1960. Children is more sensitive in varies environmental impacts compared with adults and adverse effects caused by climate changes can be remained in all lives and it can be irreversible. Relation between climate change and children’s health is one of the issues which have not been studied yet. The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship between respiratory diseases of children and climate change as well as some air pollution parameters.Materials and MethodsStudy was carried out by cross-sectional study design. According to the regional climate classification of Mongolia, Zavkhan, Selenge, Dornod and Umnugovi provinces was selected as a target area of the study. The relationship between respiratory disease of children and climate change as well as some air pollution parameters were analyzed based on statistical data of Health Departments and Family doctors’ documentation of those provinces for prevalence and incidence of respiratory disease among the children aged 0-16 and daily information of climate parameters such as air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity and precipitation status taken from selected provinces Meteorological Departments and data for air quality basic parameters (SO2, NO2, CO2, PM 10) taken from Air Quality Department of Ulaanbaatar city.ResultsRespiratory diseases among the target ages were registered highly (70.7%) in age of 0-5 years. According to the comparison results in incidence rate of respiratory diseases by region, upper respiratory tract diseases (J09-J18) and lower respiratory tract diseases (J20-J22) were registered in Umnugovi aimag (254.75 and 50.42cases per 10000 children)which belong to very dry and warm regions and Dornod aimag (121.62 and 26.11 cases per 10000 children) which belong to dryish cold regions in 2010. Respiratory tract diseases (J09-J18, J20-J22) were correlated weak indirectly with average air temperature and minimum average air temperature. It was correlated weak directly with wind speed and air pressure. Respiratory tract diseases (J09- J18, J20-J22) were correlated directly with SO2 concentration in air (r=0.269, p>0.001) and NO2 (r=0.286, p>0.001).ConclusionClimate change and air pollution could be influenced on the increase of morbidity of respiratory tract infections. Some air pollution parameters such as SO2, NO2 and PM2.5 and air temperature, air pressure, relative humidity and wind speed are the causes of respiratory tract infections among the children aged 0-16.

There are a lot of influencing factors of facial nerve palsy; experts believe that is most likely caused by a Virus (54%) and Bacterial infections. Noninfectious causes of facial nerve palsy induce tumors (28%) and less commonly influences head trauma (18%). The retrospective analysis of WHO, in 2012. There are some cases of postoperative complication in middle ear surgery is facial nerve palsy and the total recovery outcome of function was not good. From 2013 to 2016 in EMJJ hospital, Mongolia, we enrolled 16 cases with facial nerve damaged in intratympanic canal but we could not recruit some patients with facial palsy over 6 months. Each subject was tested with pure tone test, ABR, Tympanometry. These were performed for the detection of hearing loss after Temporal bone injury. Then we also investigated location of facial nerve damages of patients by MRI and CT before reconstructive surgery. After that surgery, all patients were given corticosteroid treatment (20mg/day) and physical therapy performed such as acupuncture for a week. Study results revealed that 6 cases after 18 days, 2 cases after 30 days, 1 patient after 45 days of reconstructive surgery regained good symmetry. Therefore, we considered that, postoperative treatments like physical therapy with B12, steroid had good benefits for operation result and to shorten the recovery time. There was a patient who had damaged facial nerve in the tympanic segment during Mastoidectomy. In that case, we performed cable nerve grafting using the r.auricularismagnium but we could not recover facial nerve function. Traumatic facial nerve paralysis is the second most common type. We discussed that performing reconstruction surgery within first 3 months after intratemporal facial nerve injury is extremely desirable and more effective. In our opinion, nerve recovery might be not successfully cause of injured myelin sheet of facial nerve during middle ear surgery.
